Reading Match shows one large picture and asks the child to pick how the word is written.
How it plays
- A large picture appears. Tap it to hear the word.
- A question appears: How do you write this in that language?
- Choose the correct written word from several options.
- A correct answer plays the word again with a happy sound. A progress bar shows the round.
Two languages, or one
With two languages, the question switches between them from round to round, so your child sees and hears both languages in every session. With one language, every round asks about the same language.
What it practises
- Recognising how words look
- Connecting a spoken word to its written form
- Comparing letter patterns
Who it suits
Your child does not need to read to play. They recognise the shape of the word, and the sound of the picture gives a hint. It is a gentle first step towards reading, for children who are starting to notice print.
A tip for parents
Read the options aloud together, then let your child pick. Talking about how words look, such as long, short or starts with the same letter, makes the game richer.

Play freeFrequently asked questions
Does my child need to be able to read?
No. The picture speaks its word when tapped, and children learn to recognise how the word looks. Reading comes later.
How is it different from Listening Match?
Reading Match shows one big picture and asks for its written word. Listening Match shows many pictures and words together and asks your child to match them.
Can it ask about both of my languages?
Yes. When you play with two languages, the question alternates between them.
